£2,518 to supply 30,000 or more houses with a copy is not expensive. Its just over 8p per house. How else could they supply the information for less money?

I'm not privy to the exact details although I saw someone with a bag delivering them in Rishton so I assume it was a mail drop.
Although it isn't expensive per household it was a very biased publication and I suspect went straight in the recycling bag of the majority of residents.
£2,518 would have been better spent in Rishton (as an example) on planting up the rose bed with new plants after Parks and Open Spaces have had their money cut, with the remainder going on some kissing gates to stop horse riders churning up the park.
To my mind, any actual physical improvements to wards are better use of money than self-aggrandising literature of any kind and you will find my attitude remains much the same when there is a shift in control.
